Release notes that name things
Every version gets a plain list: what is new, what was fixed, what is still missing. You will not find “various improvements and bug fixes” here.
Studio journal
We write when we ship.
This is the OZJAM journal. No publishing schedule, no growth posts, no reheated news. When a release goes out or a decision needs explaining, it gets written up here — plainly, and in full.
Three posts: Warry shipping, the repair release that followed, and both apps reaching Google Play. The list is short because we only write when something has actually happened.

Everything published so far
One written the week Warry 1.0 reached the App Store, one for the 1.1 repair release, one for both apps reaching Google Play. We are not inventing a fourth to pad the list.
Warry and PurrBuddy are now on Google Play
Both apps on Android: Warry 1.2 and PurrBuddy 1.0.2. What is identical, how permissions and the advertising identifier differ by platform, what the leaderboard becomes on Android, and two mistakes we corrected on this site.

Warry 1.1 is a housekeeping release
No new features — five repairs and two links. The currency label on saved items, rows that would not open, an ad banner sitting over the content, photos that took more room than they needed, and the styling the app used to fetch over the network instead of carrying with it.

Warry 1.0 is out
What made a warranty tracker worth building, why there is no server of ours behind it, why there is a banner ad instead of a subscription — and the three things left out of 1.0 on purpose: sync, export and push notifications.

More is on the way
Posts appear when there is something real to report: a Warry update, a decision worth explaining, or the next app leaving the studio. The gaps in between are deliberate.
There is no mailing list here, and no tracking. Bookmark the page, or just tell us what you would like written up.
Suggest a topicWhat you’ll find
Three kinds of post, and nothing else.
The journal exists to answer the questions people actually send us. If a subject cannot be written about honestly, it does not get a post.
The reasoning, not just the result
Why offline-first, why no account, why a single banner ad instead of a subscription. Decisions that affect you get explained, not announced.
The limits, written down
Warry has no sync, no export and no push notifications today. Those gaps get published here too, so nobody discovers them after installing.
Something you want explained?
Tell us which feature, which decision or which privacy question you would like written up. Reader questions are the shortest route to a new post.
